Adding a country dropdown in WordPress is relatively easy. First, create a new file in your WordPress site’s theme directory called functions.php and add the following code:

// Add a country dropdown function add_country_dropdown() { register_nav_menu( ‘country’, array( ‘title’ => __( ‘Country Selector’, ‘my-theme’ ), ‘id’ => ‘country-dropdown’, ‘before_widget’ => ‘

‘, ‘after_widget’ => ‘

‘, ‘before_title_widget’ => ‘

‘ ) ); } add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘add_country_dropdown’ );

In this function, we are registering a nav_menu called country. The nav_menu will have the following settings:

title : The title of the menu item.

: The title of the menu item. id : The ID of the menu item.

: The ID of the menu item. before_widget : The HTML code that will be displayed before the menu items.

: The HTML code that will be displayed before the menu items. after_widget : The HTML code that will be displayed after the menu items.

: The HTML code that will be displayed after the menu items. before_title_widget : The HTML code that will be displayed before the title widget.

: The HTML code that will be displayed before the title widget. after_title_widget : The HTML code that will be displayed after the title widget.

In this example, we are simply displaying a

with a inside it. The

will be the menu item and the will be the title of the menu item.

Now, add a new file in your WordPress site’s theme directory called style.css and add the following code:

.country-dropdown { text-align: center; }

Finally, add the following code to your functions.php file:

add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘add_country_dropdown’ ); function add_country_dropdown() { register_nav_menu( ‘country’, array( ‘title’ => __( ‘Country Selector’, ‘my-theme’ ), ‘id’ => ‘country-dropdown’, ‘before_widget’ => ‘

‘, ‘after_widget’ => ‘

‘, ‘before_title_widget’ => ‘

‘ ) ); }

In this code, we are adding a new function called add_country_dropdown(). This function will be responsible for registering the country dropdown.

We are also adding a new register_nav_menu() function. This function will take the following arguments:.

name : The name of the menu item.

: The name of the menu item.

In this example, we are simply setting the text-align property to center. This will align the text in the

inside the .

Now, when you create a new menu item called “Country Selector” in your WordPress site, the country dropdown will be displayed.
